Profile:
A capable opening bat and safe wicketkeeper, Madhav Mantri could not
quite establish himself in the Indian team in the fifties because of
the presence of better candidates in both fields. He toured England in
1952 and Pakistan in 1954-55. In England he scored 550 runs (22.91) on
the tour and had 39 dismissals. In his first Test, he scored 39
putting on 75 runs for the first wicket with Pankaj Roy. His best
match as wicketkeeper was when he caught three and stumped in the
England first first innings at Lord's in 1952.
But if his record for India was modest, Mantri was consistency
personified in the Ranji Trophy. He scored 2787 runs (50.67) in the
national competition during a first class career that stretched over
25 years. His highest score was 200 for Bombay against Maharashtra in
1948-49, the third of three centuries in successive matches. In first
class cricket he had 193 dismissals, 137 of them caught. He is the
uncle of Sunil Gavaskar. (Partab Ramchand)
